Deep Purple is on tour. That'd have to be a good one, even if regretably and unfortunately they'd play Smoke on the Water.

I kept getting a stabbing pain in my foot. Kept going; didn't vvant to sit and take off my boot in the grocery store.

Got home, and found that I have a piece of a guitar string jammed in my foot.

Its gone novv.

This list of things to fix on my mom's van has been a tauntfest against me as I keep needing things I don't have. And the upper intake manifold gaskets have been added.
All together the list of things I've done;
Changed radiator
Changed thermostat
Changed water pump
Changed some tubes and added clamps
Changed rear brakes and rotors
Changed front brakes and control arms
Changed spark plugs and wires
Changed motor mounts
Changed valve cover gaskets
Changed upper intake manifold gaskets
Changed oil pan gasket
Changed windshield wipers
Replace a missing stud to a rear wheel
Today I got two of the four motor mounts and the valve gaskets done.

I've also learned a new depth of depraved laziness and abject ****tiness of my dad's mechanic "ability." Half the spark plugs I can spin out with my fingers. He actually at some point changed the front valve cover gasket but not the rear. That gasket turned into hard, brittle plastic that was cracked. And a part if what is taking me so long, other thaj difficulties in things I'm needing tools I don't have, is trying to find tools and sockets in his mess of ****. Ive started officially taking over the garage and his tools, and it started with organizing and completing as best as possible this very nice socket and ratchet set I got him for Christmas many years ago. I filled in several slots from my first tool set, just a ratchet and small, basic set of sockets.
And I'm finally moving my car tools out of my small tool box that I originally got for much smaller tools for working on electronics (A heat gun was the largest thing in it then). I'll probably take it to Goodwill or wherever because it's too *** xzqdirty and greasy to go back to electronics stuff.0

That sounds like trash and not something Goodwill would want.

I'll clean it, of course. I'm sure someone can use it though so I don't wanna throw it away.

Way back when deep purple broke up, my cousin, who was a guitarist, somehow ended up with 2 of their amps,

I remember first encountering Ian Gillian's name in the list of credits as Jesus in the original "Jesus Christ Superstar" album. It was after that when I learned about Deep Purple and Gillian's role in that band. As a result, I kind of associated Deep Purple as "Jesus' band," in a manner of speaking.

I kind of thought that, if Jesus was to come back to Earth and appear in a band, it would be Peter, Paul, and Mary. Jesus would fit right in.

Non-Christian morning to you all.

Our old house had a lot of feral cats roaming about. VVe used to leave the door cracked, vvith food leading in. They'd eat a bit, get closer for the next bit, continue... VVe'd hide behind the door, vvait.... vvait... and one vvould come in, vve'd love them up and let them go.

The surprised looks on their faces! They'd alvvays bound out about 7-8 feet, and then turn to look vvith a mix of shock and respect.

I miss that game.

That's vvhat happens vvhen people don't have TV or internet.

You must be stabbing people with a skill that deserves recognition, well done.
